After training and consulting in dozens of organizations, he partnered with Bill Catlette, to form Contented Cow Partners in 1996. Contented Cow Partners was founded on the principle that creating a focused, engaged, and capably led workforce is one of the best things any organization can do for its bottom line. The firm conducted extensive research into organizations with outstanding workplace reputations, and their findings, using Human Capital Analytics, led them to investigate the strategies employed to turn people practices into profit performance. Since 1990, Richard Hadden has delivered keynote presentations and training programs for more than 800 audiences in North and South America, Asia, Europe, and Australia.
